I know this probably sounds silly, but I don't have an "Answer" field to write in my answer to the questions I create, and therefore I can't insert an answer. How do I add an answer field to insert an answer? I tried inserting a text field using all the settings available labeled "Answer", but it doesn't work. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I'm using Drupal 7.

I'm also having the issue. Just installed it fresh and no answer field. It pretty much makes this module unusable. Upping the priority.

Did an uninstall and reinstall of the module and the answer field now shows up. Not sure why it didn't work the first time but it works now so placing the priority back to normal.

I tried reinstalling this module, can you please go into your fields section and give us the perimeters set by the answer field?

I tried reinstalling and now I get this lovely error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in faq_load() (line 345 of /home/truface/public_html/modules/faq/faq.module).

Okay so I fixed the error, but still no answer field. It would be awesome if you could tell me the exact parameters found in your answer field danielson317. The info under: label, name, widget, operations in your manage field section.

Here is what my faq fields page looks like:
http://files.clikbox.com/skitch/FAQ_%7C_casrai.org-20111102-155247.jpg

The answer is just in the body. To get a full clean install of the module I uninstalled the module, verified the FAQ content type had been removed from the system, deleted the view (which for some reason did not get uninstalled though I made no customizations to it) and checked all the database tables to make sure it was actually deleted. In my experience many module do a very poor job of uninstalling in the Drupal 7 so checking the database to make sure the tables were indeed removed as part of the uninstall is essential.

Once verifying the uninstall (an enforcing several pieces of it). I installed the module again. The second time it had the body field which is where the answer is stored.

So I figured it out.

Structure>Content Types>FAQ>Manage Display

Switch button in top right corner to "Full content" and make sure the body is NOT hidden.

Thanks for all your help danielson317!

Well I figured one problem out and now I have another. When I insert the block Random FAQs into a page the "View All FAQs" link points to "faq-questions-inline", anyone know how to change the path to "faq-page" which is where all my FAQs are?
